The police carried out alcohol and drug tests, both of which gave negative results. However, the incident is still under investigation.
Two police officers save bathers in Cadiz
In another vein, two National Police officers on holiday in Cadiz rescued two bathers who could not get out of the water on Victoria Beach due to the strong surf.
Officers heard voices from several swimmers coming from the shore and observed a person making a fuss as she was unable to get out of the water. Seeing the imminent danger of drowning, they entered the water with other swimmers to rescue her.
The man was in a phase of aquatic distress, so they took him to the shore, where first aid was carried out, placing him in a lateral safety position to facilitate the expulsion of the water he had ingested and avoid suffocation.
Once the first beaches were completed, the Beach Service health teams went on site to continue advanced resuscitation care.
Then, due to the dangerous sea conditions, the agents rescued a second man. The events, which occurred on August 21, were reported this Wednesday by the National Police of Cádiz, which highlights the “numerous humanitarian acts” that its agents carry out daily, some of which “cross the border of duty and the border of delivery to the citizen without limits.
